I know these fight are not happening, but Kos did ask for them prior to getting the hughs fight. Who would you all rather have seen him fight out of these three. Also who you all think kos could take?

I saw all sorts of stuff going around, but was Koscheck dead serious about fighting at 185?

yea he said he was, because he wanted a big fight and no real options were at 170. He said he wanted to come back strong after the lose.

Would love to see him fight Leben again after the whole TUF conflict.  I think Koscheck still has a huge future ahead of him.

I remember all this talk, looks like he found an option. I wouldn't know how to judge his potential at 185 until I saw him there, but yes @Crum, a fight with Leben would make a lot of sense, and would probably be a good one

He will run through Matt Hughes IMO.  Don't think Hughes will fight after this one.

Agreed. I thought Sanchez was going to be too much for Hughes, but Koscheck? Come on

Koscheck would have beat Leben or Wanderlei by lay n pray and would have got ktfo by Franklin.

I think Kos beats any of those guys. Except maybe Franklin cuz of the size but Franklin to my knowledge is done at 185. Kos could be a contender at 185 cuz he's an outstanding wrestler. Chael is the only other one.

Franklin would def beat Kos, but the other two fights.. I think Kos takes Leben.. prob 2nd or 3rd round TKO. Wandy.. who knows. It depends on which Wandy shows up.

Any of the above sound pretty good to me.  Unfortunately, I think Kos would stand a good chance of winning all three match ups.  I think Leben would give him the most trouble, as Franklin seems to be falling apart lately, and Wanderlai is just too easy to hit and too slow lately.  I think Kos would out-athlete and out-wrestle Wanderlai to a victory.  Leben would push the pace and could eat quite a few of Kos punches to give a few thunderous blows of his own.  I also think Leben would have the most success in drawing Kos into a slug fest.

I would love to see him fight Leben. That match-up would be a brawl.

I could see Leben vs Koscheck, maybe if Leben loses to Munoz and Koscheck jumps up after he puts a beating on Matt Hughes.  Easily marketable because of their bad blood on TUF.  Also I think they both have come along way, Koscheck more-so than Leben.  Koscheck's striking is dangerous and obviously his ground-game is top of the line.  Hope they make it happen.
